Wanting to install original firmware but.. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to install original firmware on my phone using Odin but I have one problem that I can't restore my stock rom backup 'cause of MD5 Mismatch error, so I have a question can I install original firmware using Odin on the custom rom?

Ok, flashed original firmware without any problems, so now I have a question if I will reset my flash counter to zero (0) and I will install custom rom, will it change my flash counter?

[Q] Root question I haven't seen answered

Hi All,
Instead of using CF-Root kernel to root my phone, can I use the SpeedMod(which includes root as well), or do I have to flash to CF-Root first and then re-flash to SpeedMod kernel?
Also, do you suggest I flash my Vodafone GR firmware to a stock one(KG2), prior to rooting the phone?
Many thanks for all the information posted on this forum!

no, you do not need to apply if speedmod is rooted.
no you do not have to go to stock to root.

samsung galaxy s3 imei lost fix

Hello
Here is a simpe fix for lost imei
Just use odin to flash to xxemg4
I just figured out that the modem in leaked version of 4.2.2 replaces the imei
If you still want to have the new android flash it with mobile odin and deselect modem so the imei wont be replaced with 0049....
Read general > sticky roll-up thread.
All this is covered in the imei thread

[Q] Philz 5.11.2 compatible with UBELL1?

Hi, i want to flash philz_touch_5.11.2-i9300, via stock recovery (zip). Im not sure if this version is compatible with UBELL1 4.1.2 Firmrware.
All the tutorials ive found uses the philz_touch_5.06.1-i9300, and if kind of old.
Ive had problems with odin in the past, thats why i like the stock recovery procedure.
Do you know if i can flash that version?
Im really bad in english, sorry if i wrote something wrong.
1) UBELL1 means nothing! It is of no consequence. i9300 is i9300. Everything for i9300 is compatible with every i9300.
2) stock recovery procedure? You can flash philz via odin or cwm. Not stock recovery. If rooted, also mobile Odin.

[Q] Problem with Operating System

So, it seems that I have completely wiped my OS from the phone. And now i'm not able to really do anything. Wondering if you guys could lead me to a link where I can download the stock OS or something like that. Just so i'd be able to use it again because right now it's not doing anything. I was trying to install cyanogenmod and than I messed up along the way and didn't have a backup, although I thought I had made one. I really need to know if I've permanently screwed my phone because I don't have a lot of money to buy a new one.

[Q] Need some assistance, I need to restore my GT-I9100 to stock via Odin

I was trying to install SlimKat on it and I received a Status 7 error. So I searched for Status 7 error CWM and results came up with that I needed to update CMW. I tried doing that, and something went wrong. It's now got a warning saying to restore in Kies. I tried doing that too. But, since this is an Australian model (Vodafone), I was unable to in Kies.
Is there anyway possible to restore to stock Android (whatever version) via Odin? With like PHONE, PDA, etc. sections?
Please help because I'm not very good with Android phones.
You missed the stickied thread near the top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware'. Get stock rom for country/carrier from Samfirmware, flash it using instructions in that thread. Problems with Odin/getting the flash done ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need in order to get a successful flash.
Edit - The stock roms @ Samfirmware are one part, you don't need a rom that has the components split into separate files.

Thanks for your help.
I worked out how to do it (before reading your comment) and I used Odin to "apply" CWM and I created a backup of the system files and everything, on my SD Card, so I restored back to that.
Important note: Always back up!
Thank you!
